Check our list of Luke's best lines.

On September 12, 2006, Lucasfilm and Fox Home Entertainment will release the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD for the very first time. These editions, which will be packaged with the Special Edition versions released in 2004, will be restored to their original incarnations in full screen and non-anamorphic widescreen, and feature Dolby 2.0 Surround Sound. Each of the three films will be available individually for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $29.98.

In anticipation of the forthcoming release of these DVDs, IGN is offering a nonstop barrage of Star Wars coverage, which will appear over the next 13 weeks in five different categories:

Star Wars Secrets: an ongoing compilation of various details about the franchise that you may not have heard

Star Wars Speeches: a listing of the best and most memorable quotes from each of your favorite characters in the Star Wars galaxy

Star Wars Stuff: ruminations on the universe of Star Wars merchandising and media available over the past three decades

Star Wars Substitutions: a detailed list of various changes, revisions and updates to the Star Wars films that will be restored on the forthcoming DVDs

Last week's Star Wars Speeches highlighted the contributions of Star Wars' most formidable female, Princess Leia. This week we felt it was only appropriate to let her brother Luke in on the action (we hope we aren't spoiling anything for anyone at this late date).

10. I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you. (Star Wars)

9. I won't fail you. I'm not afraid. (The Empire Strikes Back)

8. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters. (Star Wars)

7. Jabba! This is your last chance. Free us or die. (Return of the Jedi)

6. Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate. (Return of the Jedi)

5. You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it. (Return of the Jedi)

4. But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters... (Star Wars)

3. If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from. (Star Wars)
